BENEE ANNOUNCES 2022 WORLD TOUR NORTHERN HEMISPHERE DATES

• November 15, 2021
• UK Music News
• by Desh Kapur UK-Editor/Photographer

Supalonely singer BENEE announces her first foray out into the world since the pandemic struck

The 21 year old New Zealand artist broke through with  Supalonely , the four billion streaming single from her second EP, and has had to wait for a chance to tour outside her home country again.

Next year sees BENEE  head back to Europe and the UK in April-May and North America in June, traveling to play the Northern hemisphere for the first time since 2019.

She managed to fit in a sold out summer 2020 tour of New Zealand with the release of her Hey u x album.

I am beyond excited to announce that my WORLD TOUR KICKS OFF next year!!!!!!!!!,” says BENEE. “It’s been such a long time coming & we’ve lived through a lot in these weird times but shows starting up again has rly got everyone sosososodo happyyy!!!! I can’t wait to get back out there & meet all of u and play a bunch of new musiiiiiicccc!!

“I AM SO READY TO TOUR!!” she exclaims.  “Doing shows with my band is the best thing and I have missed it so badly this year. Waiting, rescheduling, waiting again has been incredibly difficult.”

BENEE’s dreamy alt pop mixes her deeply heartfelt reflections on life in suburban Auckland, New Zealand, with offbeat and often whimsical lyrical encounters with zombies and snails, all produced with a technicolour ear for cooked beats and unpredictable hooks.

She has just released her first new music since 2020’s album  Hey u x .

The album was a vibrant musical world with guests ranging from Grimes and Lily Allen to Gus Dapperton and Muroki (another New Zealand teen BENEE has since signed to her own label, Olive).

It was listed as one of  Billboard’s   25 Best Pop Albums of 2020,  noting that BENEE  “ contemplates the woes of Gen Z with a keen ear for choruses and arrangements that oscillate between indie rock and hyperpop”.  Stereogum  praised its “quirky but impeccably produced pop music” and  Vogue  called it “13 tracks of heavenly indie-alt-pop”.

Latest single  Doesn’t Matter ,  another deeply revealing track that reflects the singer’s journey through the emotional clatter of 2021, is off to a flying start, streaming over 1million times in its first week.

A forthcoming BENEE EP release leads into plans for 2022 with the thing that excites her the most, a hefty touring schedule that will bring her live show to adoring fans around the world at last.

Tickets to BENEE’s world tour dates go on sale this week. Go to here for more info.

Rugby: Midfielder Anton Lienert-Brown returns for All Blacks' northern hemisphere tour

Anton Lienert-Brown in action for the All Blacks. Credits: Image - Photosport, video - NZ Rugby

Midfielder Anton Lienert-Brown has been recalled to the All Blacks for their four-game northern tour over October/November.

Coach Ian Foster had largely kept faith with the players that began the national team's home-based campaign in historically indifferent form, but eventually pulled out of their downward spiral to secure the Bledisloe Cup and Rugby Championship trophies.

Lienert-Brown missed the home-series loss to Ireland and first home loss to Argentina, after suffering a shoulder injury during Super Rugby Pacific for the Chiefs, but proved his fitness for Waikato in their National Provincial Championship quarter-final against Bay of Plenty on Sunday.

More from Newshub

"He's a very experienced, seasoned player for us, played a lot of test matches and we have a lot of faith in him." said Foster. "We're excited about his inclusion in the group."

His inclusion further muddies the selection dilemma facing Foster and his fellow selectors, after injuries to David Havili and Quinn Tupaea resulted in regular fullback Jordie Barrett successfully switching positions in the second Bledisloe test against Australia.

Tupaea will miss the tour - and next Super Rugby season - with ruptured knee ligaments, while Rieko Ioane, league convert Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Braydon Ennor complete the midfield stocks. 

Blues first-five/fullback Stephen Perofeta has made only a fleeting appearance in the black jersey so far, but Foster hopes to see more of him on this tour.

"We've largely gone with a group that's been playing through the Rugby Championship," said Foster. "We really felt that group has taken some lessons and grown and finished really strong in that Rugby Championship.

"We believe they deserve an opportunity to keep developing those combinations, as we go up north."

Notable exclusions include utility back Damian McKenzie and veteran lock Patrick Tuipulotu, who both took Japanese sabbaticals during Super Rugby, and loose forward Luke Jacobson, called in to cover injury to Shannon Frizell and childbirth absence of Ardie Savea against the Wallabies.  

Several fringe candidates can expect inclusion in an All Blacks XV squad, also heading north, under the guidance of Blues coach Leon MacDonald. That roster will be named on Monday.

" The northern tour is always a highlight in the All Black calendar and this year is no exception," said Foster. "With less than a year until the start of the Rugby World Cup, this tour gives us another great opportunity to grow from where we finished the Rugby Championship.

"Experiencing big test matches in the north is great preparation for what is to come in France next year. The addition of our All Blacks XV team will also help grow this experience across a wider group of players."

The All Blacks squad to face Japan, Wales, Scotland and England...

Hookers -  Dane Coles, Samisoni Taukei’aho, Codie Taylor

Props -  George Bower, Ethan de Groot, Nepo Laulala, Tyrel Lomax, Fletcher Newell, Ofa Tu’ungafasi

It's also good to know that the destinations you can visit with Nordic Visitor all have excellent, modern healthcare services.

You can check the latest guidance for visiting Northern Europe on our Travel Update page.

3. WHAT IS THE CLIMATE OF NORTHERN EUROPE?

In Northern Europe the climate varies a lot between seasons. This means that your experience of a destination will be different depending on the time of year that you’re travelling. Happily, this just gives you more reasons for a return visit.

The spring and summer season is from May to September in Northern Europe. This time of year tends to bring drier and milder weather. And the region’s warmest average temperatures range from around 13°C (55°F) in parts of Iceland to 21°C (70°F) in southern Sweden.

If you’re planning an Arctic adventure to Svalbard or Greenland in summer, it’s worth remembering the average temperature at this time of year will be lower. For instance, July is the warmest month of the year, with an average temperature of around 7°C (45°F).

In general, Northern Europe’s winter months, from October to April, tend to be chillier. That said, the Gulf Stream prevents the region from becoming as cold as countries at similar latitudes, like Canada.

For example, in Nordic Visitor’s Northern European winter destinations, the lowest average temperatures vary from approximately -11°C (12°F) in Lapland to 7°C (45°F) in Ireland. Meanwhile the average winter temperature in Iceland is usually around 1°C (34°F).

You’ll find more specific climate information in these Northern Europe travel guides:

• •  Iceland weather and climate conditions
• • Scotland weather and climate conditions
• •  Norway weather and climate conditions
• •  Lapland weather and climate conditions
• •  Ireland weather and climate conditions  

So, leave behind thoughts of the hot climes found in Southern European destinations, like Rome, Italy. And instead, focus on what you can see in Europe’s north: spectacular displays of the northern lights, pristine landscapes, geological wonders, and more.

4. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO TOUR NORTHERN EUROPE?

The best time to visit Northern Europe really depends on how you want to explore and the attractions you wish to discover.

If you are looking to visit when temperatures are mild, then book a tour during the spring and summer months. Between April and September, you’d get to see lush green landscapes and enjoy long days, which is perfect for outdoor activities like hiking.

As well as this, the midnight sun is in full swing in certain areas such as Iceland, Northern Norway and Greenland. This is a phenomenon where the sun doesn’t set for weeks or months.

On the other hand, from around October to March, you could experience snow-dusted landscapes, wintry activities and festive traditions. The dark night skies also provide the ideal backdrop for spotting the northern lights.

Check out these travel styles for seasonal tour ideas:

• •  Summer tours in Northern Europe
• •  Winter trips in Northern Europe
• •  Northern lights packages in Northern Europe
• •  Christmas tours in Northern Europe  

5. WHERE AND WHEN CAN I SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS IN EUROPE?

Aurora borealis activity is strongest closer to the North Pole, so your best bet is to visit Iceland, Norway, Lapland and Svalbard to catch sight of the northern lights. These destinations are located within or near to the Arctic Circle, where you have a higher chance of seeing the aurora.

Occasionally you can spot them in other parts of Northern Europe, such as Scotland. But sightings are much rarer as it’s further away from the Arctic Circle.

If you’re keen to see this natural phenomenon in Europe, then book your trip for the winter months, when the nights are long. This will give you more hours of darkness to search for the northern lights.

Read these guides for more information about the aurora borealis:

• •  What are the northern lights?
• •  How to see the aurora borealis
• •  Best times and places to see the northern lights in Europe  

6. WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO TOUR NORTHERN EUROPE?

The North is made up of many distinctive countries and cultures, and there are plenty of ways to experience them. The best way to travel depends on what you want to do and how flexible you’d like the tours to be.

Self-drive packages of Northern Europe are very popular as they let you set the pace and travel further for excursions, attractions and restaurants. You can take your time discovering top sights and explore off the beaten track.

Another excellent way to travel is with a knowledgeable guide and a small group of fellow travellers. Our escorted group tours of Northern Europe give you the opportunity to learn from a local. They’ll take you to each attraction and share their knowledge and favourite spots.

Nordic Visitor only organises small minibus tours, for a more relaxed and personal experience compared to large coach trips.

If you want something exclusive and would prefer to travel alone or with friends or family members, then choose from our private Northern Europe tours . You’ll have a local guide all to yourselves for a more personal experience.

Northern Europe independent packages combine the best of self-guided travel with escorted excursions. You’ll get to enjoy guided tours and activities with local experts, but then have free days to explore on your own.

In the Scandinavian countries, you could journey by rail on a train tour of Northern Europe , or sail the seas on a Nordic cruise package . Both are convenient ways to travel in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, with stunning views and enchanting stops along the way.

Plus, if you opt for a multi-country tour, you can discover as many as five nations in one trip. For instance, you could combine the Nordic and Scandinavian nations of Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland with Estonia, in the Baltic States.

If you want more information, contact our team and they will help you decide which travel style would suit you best.

7. DO I NEED A VISA TO GO TO NORTHERN EUROPE?

Fortunately, if you’re arriving from North America, Australia, Japan, or New Zealand, you will not need a visa to visit Northern Europe. You must have a valid passport with at least 6 months left before it expires.

If you’re visiting from outside of these places, you will need to apply for a Schengen visa to enter the Nordic countries. This is a short-stay visa that permits you to travel to Schengen Area member countries for up to 90 days.

The Schengen visa doesn’t apply to Scotland, the rest of the UK, or Ireland. But citizens of the EU, EEA and Switzerland can visit without a visa. If you’re travelling from elsewhere, you may need to apply for a Standard Visitor visa for Scotland and the UK, or a Short Stay ‘C’ visa for Ireland.

8. CAN I CUSTOMISE MY NORTHERN EUROPE TOUR?

Yes, it’s easy to tailor your tour online. As you go through the booking steps, you can add extra nights, room upgrades and optional excursions to your itinerary. For instance, if you’re travelling to Iceland, you might like to include an extra day at the end of your trip for visiting the Blue Lagoon.

That said, if you have something more bespoke in mind, please contact your dedicated travel consultant. Just let them know what you’d like to do and where you’d like to go. From here, they’ll use their insider knowledge to create a memorable travel experience for you.

What’s more, your trip can be customised based on your interests, or we can add special touches to a honeymoon tour in Northern Europe .

Although most of the ways that you can travel with Nordic Visitor are easily tailored, it’s worth noting that small group packages are less flexible.

This is because you, and the rest of the group, will be following a fixed itinerary for the guided portion of your tour. You can still extend your stay by adding extra nights at the start or end of your trip.

9. CAN I CHOOSE THE ARRIVAL DATE?

Depending on the time of year you’ll be travelling to Europe, there will be a number of Nordic Visitor tours to choose from. With a range of seasonal packages and a variety of start dates, you’re sure to find an arrival date that suits you.

When you’re booking your trip online, you’ll be able to select your preferred start date from the tour’s availability calendar.

10. WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY FLIGHT TICKETS?

It’s a good idea to check what times and dates are available for flights upfront, but we advise holding off on buying them until your tour is booked. Once your travel consultant emails you to let you know that your trip is confirmed, you can go ahead and purchase your flights.

Your Nordic Visitor vacation package includes accommodation and a detailed, personalised itinerary. Waiting until we have made these arrangements means that you can select the flights that work best for your tour. Plus, if you have any questions you can ask your dedicated consultant for advice.

11. WHAT SHOULD I PACK FOR NORTHERN EUROPE?

When you visit Northern Europe, not only will you be exploring captivating new cities, but you’ll also be heading out into the countryside. So it’s best to be prepared for changeable weather, no matter when you’re travelling in Europe.

These are our recommendations for what to bring with you on your tour:

• Walking boots or shoes with good grip
• Waterproof jacket and trousers
• Insulated jacket
• Woollen or fleece jumpers
• Thermal base layers
• Warm hat, scarf and gloves
• Warm hiking socks
• Quick-drying travel towel
• Sunscreen and insect repellent in the summer months
• Insulated coat and thick layers in the winter months  

Check out these destination guides for tips and advice on what you should pack for your European trip:

• •  Iceland packing list
• •  Scotland packing list
• •  Norway packing list
• •  Lapland packing list
• •  Ireland packing list

Collaboration and innovation were the focusat the start of the second quarter. UNWTO partnered with IATA on a new Destination Tracker to give both tourists and destinations clear, impartial and trusted advice. And a new Start-up Competition was launched to find the best ideas for accelerating rural development through tourism. In May, the launch of the Best Tourism Villages by UNWTO generated significant interest from Members in every global region. 

July - September

As destinations in Europe welcomed tourists back for the peak summer season, UNWTO highlighted the role of  digital solutions for the safe restart of the sector. But UNWTO also looked ahead, to a more sustainable future , working with key partners to  reduce plastic waste and consumption across every part of the sector. Together, we celebrated World Tourism Day around the theme of Tourism for Inclusive Growth, a message of solidarity and determination that was echoed on a global scale.

October - December

The final quarter of 2021 began with cautious optimism as UNWTO’s Barometer showed signs of improvement in tourist arrival numbers during the summer season in the northern hemisphere. A new partnership with Netflix will bring the message of tourism as a driver of opportunity to a massive global audience, while in November, UNWTO was tourism’s voice at COP26 and signatories to the landmark Glasgow Declaration keep growing. Finally, against the backdrop of the UNWTO General Assembly , the programme of work for the coming biennium was approved and 77% of Members voted to secure a second mandate for the Secretary-General from 2022-2025.

Growing and Moving Forward

UNWTO brings together political leaders from across the globe to deliver a strong, coordinated response. Governments, destinations, fellow UN agencies and international organizations met at key international events joining efforts to rethink tourism. Institutional coordination has proven crucial to find the solutions that build a smarter, greener and safer tourism.

Leaving Nobody Behind

The pledge to ‘ leave nobody behind ’ means nobody should miss out : Not now as we support the sector in the face of crisis, and not in the future as tourism starts again. Tourism is a proven driver of equality and opportunity. And that’s why we turn words into actions, delivering guidelines and action plans , to ensure everyone can enjoy the opportunities tourism brings.

A Shared Vision

Advancing the transformation of the tourism sector , partnerships are the only way forward. In 2021, UNWTO signed agreements with international organizations and the private sector to step our vision for the future of tourism: innovation , education , sustainability , green investment , rural development.

World Tourism Barometer: September 2022

UNWTO updates World Tourism Barometer and reports international tourism back to 60% of pre-pandemic levels from January to July 2022

Below are excerpts from the September 2022 release of the UNWTO Tourism Barometer :

• The steady recovery reflects strong pent-up demand for international travel, especially in the months of June and July which are part of the Northern Hemisphere summer season. The easing or lifting of travel restrictions in an increasing number of countries also contributed to boost results.
• International tourist arrivals almost tripled (+172%) in January-July 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Numbers climbed from -64% in January 2022 (versus 2019) to -28% in July, the strongest month since the start of the pandemic.
• Asia and the Pacific (+165%) saw arrivals more than double in the first seven months of 2022, though they remained 86% below 2019 levels.
• The ongoing recovery can also be seen in outbound tourism spending from major source markets. Expenditure from France was at -12% in January-July 2022 compared to 2019 while spending from Germany stood at -14%. International tourism spending remained at -10% in Belgium, -23% in Italy and -26% in the United States.
• The uncertain economic environment seems to have reversed prospects for a return to pre-pandemic levels in the near term. 61% of UNWTO Panel of Experts now see a potential return of international arrivals to 2019 levels in 2024 or later while those indicating a return to pre-pandemic levels in 2023 has diminished (27%) compared to the May survey (48%).

TOURISM TRENDS 2022

11 Aug TOURISM TRENDS 2022

The situation for tourism remains rather unusual as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The crisis has marked a significant change for everyone, and above all for tourism, one of sectors hit hardest by the virus. 2020 was the year in which international tourism came to a near-complete standstill, and the only alternatives were domestic and local tourism.

2021 has seen some improvements, but only in a very subtle way as restrictions are still in place and many countries keep their borders fully or partially closed.

It is difficult to make an estimate for 2022 as it is not known how the pandemic will evolve. However, it is possible to talk about the new tourism trends that are likely to emerge over the coming year: – International travel with restrictions still maintained by both destinations and airlines in order to offer 100% security to the consumer.

– Reinforcement of COVID-19 testing; two years after the pandemic, COVID testing will still be in place as a preventive measure. – Conscious travel will be advocated. Travel to more distant destinations, but with prolonged durations of stay, as consumers look to enjoy as much of each place they visit as possible. – Green travel. Climate change is a problem that is present and growing. Consumers now are much more responsible and aware of the reality they live in on daily basis.

– A new trend is the “ed-ventures”. It is about combining education and holidays for the youngest members of the family. While adults may need to telework or attend meetings, their children can be doing workshops and learning in a playful way.
